Jamaican Mission Program

2022 Trip Information – PENDING

2021 Trip Cancelled due to COVID-19

2020 Trip Week Tentative Schedule:

Saturday, January 18, 2020 through Saturday, January 25, 2020.

We plan to work at Jerusalem Home in Spanish Town, Jamaica on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We will be attending Mass on Sunday at either Jacob’s Ladder Home or in Ocho Rios. The main project will include the construction of a sustainable agriculture project but mission volunteers can also chose to volunteer to help the residents and staff at the home.

Housing:

We have rented a 13 bedroom home in Mammee Bay, Jamaica. Each bedroom has an attached private bathroom. 24 hour security and private chef are included. The home also have a private swimming pool and is only several blocks from the beach. Several rooms are currently booked but we are looking at other options for additional housing. The all-inclusive price for lodging is $1100 per bedroom (same price if single or double occupancy). House details at https://www.vrbo.com/621386.

Flight:

All volunteers are free to book their own airfare into Montego Bay, Jamaica. Most volunteers typically travel on the same flight and details will be available in the next 2 months.  If other flight are needed due to cost or your location, please contact Dr. Bryan Myers at (608) 604-5395 prior to booking to assure ground transportation can be arranged. Flights average around $500 per person with 100% of this cost being tax deductible as a charitable expense.

Ground Transportation:

All ground transportation is arranged by JMP through Paradise Travels in Jamaica. This includes airport transfers and travel to and from the work sites.  A small cost will be incurred for any travel on vacation days.
